IMPROVEMENT IN CLOTH-WINDING MECHANISMS FOR LOOMS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 109,794, dat-ed December 6,1870.

To @ZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM A. ARNOLD, of Rockport, of the county ot' Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Inlprovementrin Looms for Weaving Cloth; and I do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the following specication and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure l is a front elevation, Fig. 2a rear View, and Fig. 3 a transverse section, of the breastbeam and rear portion ot' the frame, the cloth-roller, and sand-roller of a loom, with my invention applied to the cloth-roller and leoni-frame.

The purpose of the said inventionis to cause the cloth, while being taken up by the clothroller and formed into a roll, to be wo'und evenly at the edges of the cloth; also, to aid in forcing the roll of cloth against the sandroller.

In carrying out Inyinvention I combine with the loom two hooked or heavy guides extended from a common horizontal shaft and resting on the cloth-roller, and against or in close contiguityT with the ends of the roll of cloth, such guides being as hereinafter described, and as exhibited in the drawings.

In such drawings, A denotes the rear portion of a loom-frame, of which a is the breastbeam.

The sand roller or drum is shown at B, the cloth-roller at C, and the cloth Wound about such roller C and extended around the sand-f twofold purpose hereinbefore mentioned, and

have been proved to be highly useful auxiliaries to a loom, as they successfully prevent the cloth from running off one edge of the roll.

I claim- The combination and arrangement of the hooked guides or guide-weights E E. as described, withv the sand-roller B, the cloth-roller C, and frame ofa loom, all being substantially as explained.

WILLIAM A. ARNOLD.
